The San Antonio Construction Standards Board convened on June 5, 2025, to address several key issues regarding property demolitions and safety concerns within the city. The meeting was led by Jenny Ramírez, the Code Compliance Manager, who presented a series of emergency demolitions and requests for action.

Ramírez began her report by detailing an exemption agreement for a property located at 112 Hillary Street in District 2, which was signed on May 12, 2025. This agreement allows for the demolition of both the main and accessory structures in accordance with Chapter 6, Subsection 9, without requiring further action from the board.

She then moved on to discuss emergency demolitions resulting from recent fires. The first property mentioned was located at 1924 Moctezuma Street, which was demolished on May 20, 2025, following a fire on May 6. This demolition also fell under Chapter 6, requiring no additional board action.

Next, Ramírez reported on a structure at 630 Gillette, which was demolished on May 16, 2025, due to a fire that occurred on May 13. Again, this demolition was classified under Chapter 6, Subsection 5, and did not necessitate further action from the commission.

The final emergency demolition discussed was for a property at 807 Bailey, which was demolished on May 22, 2025, after a fire on May 16. This was also categorized under Chapter 6, with no required actions from the board.

Following Ramírez's report, Crystal Town, the city’s Dangerous Premises Officer, presented a case regarding a property at 910 North Navidad Street in District 5. This property was brought before the commission for potential demolition under Article 8, Chapter 6. Town noted that the owner, Juanita Huentello, was not present at the meeting. She provided details about the property’s history, including multiple fire incidents and the lack of any work permits or financial documentation for repairs.

The commission was informed that the property was not eligible for historical designation and that notifications regarding the demolition hearing had been sent to the owner. Town emphasized the urgency of the situation, given the property's history of fires.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for questions, but no immediate inquiries were raised. The board's discussions highlighted ongoing safety concerns and the need for swift action regarding hazardous properties in San Antonio. Further steps regarding the cases presented will be determined in subsequent meetings.
